i have a 5 month old leghorn rooster who is perfectly healthy besides he has a gurgle sound when he breethes he sneezes and stuff to hes been like this for cuple months he does not have runny nose anythang i can do to make it stop? he crows all the time so i dont no what the deal is

Sounds like respitory CRD maybe? seperate him and maybe give tylan 50 injectable 3-5 days 1/2cc

 

[BirchHatchery]

i dont no he been like that for 2 months none of the other birds have it

 

[BirchHatchery]

will it go away on its own?

 

[BirchHatchery]

anyone will he heal on his own?

Check if he has gape worm.
I dont think somthing like that will cure on its one, but you never now.

And take a Qtip with you to swab his mouth and throat. If he has gapeworm, which he can get from eating earthworms, you will see them, very thin red threadsy looking things. You can do a search and find pics in here, I'm sure.

I am no expert, but it worth a shot to see if he has it

let me know how it goes​

You should follow RedRoosterFarm's recommendation. Since he's crowing, it's NOT gapeworm.

so rooster will not crow if they have gape worm? Good to know
